NASHVILLE, TN. (MoveOnPac.org) - Dixie
Chicks are excited to announce the Vote for Change concert tour. Vote for Change is a loose coalition of musicians brought together by a single idea—the need to make a change in the direction of our country. We share a belief that this is the most important election of our lifetime. We are fighting for a government that is open, rational, just and progressive.
"As concerned mothers, women and most importantly concerned Americans, we are compelled to do what we can to inspire other voters to get involved in this year's election. We hope our participation in the Vote For Change Tour will be a catalyst for positive change,' said the Dixie Chicks.
Artists participating in Vote for Change have merged their energies and talents to focus on states that are expected to have the closest race in the presidential election this fall.
This unprecedented effort will include approximately 34 shows in 28 cities in 9 battleground states over the course of a week.
Vote for Change artists hope to accomplish a single goal through the tour: to get people to the polls on November 2nd to vote for a change
